Book Review: The Knot Fairy

I don't often review picture books, but I met Bobbie Hinman at a book festival, and when I heard that her book was about fairies, I offered to review it. The Knot Fairy is a sweet and adorable book that tells children, in rhyming couplets, about a fairy that visits them every night to tangle their hair. Children will delight in the slightly subversive message about flaunting one's tangled locks. The illustrations, by Kristi Bridgeman, are lovely and Kristi gives the Knot Fairy real character. The book comes packaged with an audio CD featuring the author reading the story, and a theme song sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

About Me

A lifetime reader of speculative fiction, I've been involved in the children's literature community since 2005. I share my passion for YA and Middle-Grade science fiction and fantasy on this blog, and I'm also one of the organizers of the Cybils Awards for children's literature. I have a small press publishing company, Imaginator Press.

For my day job, I'm a freelance web developer. Even there I have strong ties to the children's book community: my biggest client is the Mom's Choice Awards. If you have a website or web application project you need help with, please contact me at sruth@imaginatorpress.com or through my LinkedIn Profile.
